Thanks for that Garryn, good points. The grey frame is only on the emergency exit door and it looks grey but is actually a faded black which I can bring back to black I think. I have painted those two windows black now and they look good.
I did put a white sheet up behind the windows and it didn’t look right as the paintwork of the van is too shabby at the moment.

Anyway, black is the way forward for me at the moment.

I’d say the problem is the grey frames which would make white look odd however, think also what colour the final panels will be and will you eventually paint the frames? Whatever you chose cannot be easily changed and black is likely to cause unacceptable heat in summer. Is it viable to paint the frames or could you use graphics to distract from them. Personally if it was mine I’d either match the bus colour or use a contracting colour (compared to the frames) – light red, blue or grey.

I don’t want to be a pillock (I’m already a ninny) so I vote for black too.

That does appear to be the consensus

Black, go with black.
Anyone that says different is a pillock ;0
